So often, I've read statements on social media like, "I'm exercising my right to freedom of speech." Or, "How can the government go against my religion."Yet, when questioned, these citizens tend to really be saying that they are expressing assumptions are not willing to look at the truth.Do you know what are United States Constitution allows you to do, or protects you from?For me, the idea of reading about our federal constitution is exciting, because I know that in looking at the history, particularly the cases that went before the courts as our world has evolved allows me to be more comfortable with my opportunities.So, when I embarked upon reading "American Constitutional Law," I did so knowing that it would be quite a journey through legislations, arguments, opinions, civil rights challenges, and quite frankly, anything that impacts our lives.Written in an essay style, followed by case law summaries that explain what happened, this book is not light reading.But who would want an history essay on our U.S. Constitution to be light reading?The first half of this book focuses upon our political history, and the powers that our Executive Branch, Congress and the Supreme Court has.And though, prior to reading this book, I thought I had a pretty good handle on those branches, I was especially intrigued by how laws are not only made, but also how they are evaluated as being good law.There are many phrases in this first half of this book that at first, I said, "Yeah. Yeah. I get it."But, as I became more comfortable with these essays, I found myself not only comparing judicial decisions made, I also found that the "commonly-known phrases" such as "due process," "interstate commerce", and others had so much more to them.The second half of this book focuses more upon individual rights under the most of the Bill of Rights.And in this section, I was especially by how cases must be presented on religious liberties, in order to get what you want.Like most other cases, it is not about the facts. It's about how you apply the facts to the laws, and how you present those facts that leads to the outcome.Reading this book has inspired me to look more closely at what is going on in the world and what the basis are for the decisions that are being made.And in doing this, I believe that this empowers every reader to improve their lives.
The product arrived on time, product was as expected, properly protected, no surprises, no problems, and no complaints. Will purchase from again.
A must read for anyone interested in better understanding the Constitution. Great quality for the price of the book.
